So I'm new here.... And full of questions and confusion. As far back as I can remember, I've always felt like I'm in a body I dont belong in... I can remember as a kid, as young as 7 or 8 (I'm 23 now), I would put a sock in my underpants and things felt right (now I'm not trying to be inappropriate by any means here). I've always been a tomboy, wearing mens clothes and all that... And a couple years ago, I had this friend who introduced me to packys, and it was awesome, I felt like I was who I was meant to be... Then I dont know if I got scared or went into denial for fear of non-acceptance or whatever else... But I shoved all the thoughts on the back burner. Now they're back, asking with imagining myself in a mans body with facial hair and blah blah blah... and I dont know if I'm trans, or just in a ' phase' or what.  Thing is, when I look at myself in the mirror, I see a fella, my lady parts, for lack of better words, disgust me... Now I know that nobody but me can come to the revelation of a decision, but I thought that a supportive place such as this would be beneficial and help me along my path with a clear head, does that make sense? I know I'm kinda rambling, but I've never really reached out to anyone about these thoughts before and I really have no clue where to start, lol... Well I kinda lied, I saw a therapist today and I told her a little bit about the situation. So yea, theres that then... Thank you for taking time to have read this.  :)

Hi Dakota and welcome to the forums. If you have already seen a therapist you have already passed one of the most difficult steps you will take-Good For You! What a relief seeing my therapist was for me. They help us (hopefully) figure out what to do next and how to maintain our composure in the midst of turmoil. Believe me, you're not alone!

Be sure to read the terms of service section.

Thank you Randi.  :). Yes I read over the policies a but, but definitely plan to go over them several more times because I do not want to come across as offensive or anything of that nature, lol. Yea I do look forward to working with my therapist more, I have another appointment scheduled with her for next Tuesday. Shall see how that goes. Lol

Welcome, there's a lot of useful information and stories that you might be able to relate to on here that hopefully can help you out.
The story is the same, I've just personalized the name.

Re: Joyce

Hi Dakota,

     Don't be ashamed and don't hold back from telling your therapist everything.  Be sure to ask them if they have much experience with Gender Disorders.  If they don't, try to find one who does.  I got some poor guidance due to this in the beginning.

     You just hit a gold mine of information here.  As you read other's stories, you may see many similarities to your own.  This can eat you up and it won't go away.

      The therapist can help you sort things out for yourself.  In the mean time, share your thoughts here, as that can also be great therapy.

       You are among many friends.

 That was my exact thought when I found this! Like, so many stories and ways things have been dealt with, and so much information! It was amazing. I've been spending like the past two days scouring the forums and I've been floored by everything here. I mean, obviously I know I'm not ever only person in the world who has dealt with these thoughts, but a little verification is also nice. Lol. I feel like a kid in a candy store, lol. Thank you all.
